Can someone walk me through how to access my sd card from my computer. It does not show up.
Thanks,
Bernard
Once you plug your phone to the usb charger, you get a notification there you select what you want to do... Whether you just want to charge the device or mount it as a disk drive. There you mount it as a disk drive and youl see it as a removable disk in the Explorer.
Evo SD Card
Thanks,
But it is not there. I see the device but there is no SD card.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More than likely its needs to be assigned a drive letter so the computer will see it
Which OS are you running?
Windows 7.

your phone memory IS your internal memory (in case that is not clear).
You can enable your internal memory by going to settings/applications/development and checking USB Debugging.
hope that helps.
thanks a lot!
I check the usb debug mode,but my win7 report that can't find adb drivers!
where can i find the adb driver?
Dont enable usb debugging. Drag down the bar at top and go from charge only to usb storage mode.. windows should auto detect it as a usb drive and it will show your sd card as a usb drive...copy files over that way.

But in this mode,my win7 can only find the tf card disk. I can not read/write/format the internal storage. win xp can find 2 htc disk,but also only can net do anything to the internal storage disk!
what can i do?
Then you have something pretty tangled. I plug my standard DInc into my Win7 machine, and choose "Disk drive" mode and I see two disks mounted, one for the phone RAM and one for the SD card.
Likewise....
you can also use something like Astro and move files from the SDcard to the emmc (internal memory folder)
Since the 2.2 update when I connect my incredible to my computer via usb cable I am not able to see the SD card as a drive. When I connect the incredible, the drives that show up are F:HTC INC (phone storage), and E:Verizon Mobile. I am able to access content on the SD card on my Incredible though. When I move the SD card to another phone and connect it to the computer the same way it shows as E:removable disc so I'm sure the SD card is not corrupt. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution?
Hi All
I am hoping someone on this forum can help me before I rip my hair out (whats left of it).
I have recently got a HTC Desire and purchased a new 32GB Micro SD card. The SD card is fine and recognised when I first put it in, format it and factory reset the phone.
Boots up fine, recognises the SD fine and all apps work.
HOWEVER, when I plug my phone into the Mac I mount the SD card as a disk drive, Mac recognises it fine then I sync my ITunes music to it (about 8GB worth) then eject the drive from the Mac and remount the drive to the phone.
About 30 - 60 seconds after remounting to the phone I get an error message advising that the SD card is mounted as read-only. I try to unmount and remount again and it does the same.
The SD card basically renders itself useless.
I then take the Micro SD card out of the phone and put into the SD card adaptor for the Mac and run a disk varification on the card, the Mac itself cannot even fix it.
The ONLY way I can see to sort this is to reformat the Micro SD back to FAT32 and put it back into the phone, format and factory reset.
Again this ONLY happens at the point of syncing etc from the Mac.
Now before everyone starts to blame the Mac, after doing some Googling, it seems this also happens on Windows machine.
How do I stop this as its becoming a massive annoyance.

Hey all, I've tried to search here and have read what I could but I'm trying to understand how we actually see the external sd storage on the phone itself other then "settings", "storage" or when the phone is connected to a computer. I just installed a 32gb card and when looking in root explorer I'm not seeing it. Also when the phone is connected to the computer I am seeing a second drive letter this now accessible so I'm guessing that's it. I do see the card listed under storage as see I have 29.50gb available.
When I installed the card I just went into recovery, mounts & storage and then selected format /sd card. Do I need to also partition the card? I'm just trying to better understand these functions in relation to this phone and being rooted.
Thx
The second drive you see on your computer is the internal 16GB memory of your phone.
When you connect to your computer, the first drive is the "USB storage", around 11GB, which is part of your phone's internal storage. The second drive is your SD card.
If you want to look at your external SD card from your phone, use any file explorer program, it by default will go to the "USB storage", which is not your external SD card. Look for a folder called "external_sd", this folder is mounted to your SD card.
SD TIP
just a Tip
it is SAFE to rename the 2 mounted drives
so I named my internal SD as SGH-T989
and my external SD as the actual SD model+size like:
ADATA32GB
Transcent16GB
SandDisk64GB
then next time you plug it into Linux or Windows or any PC you will know right away which is which
Big thanks, I appreciate everyone's comments. That's a great tip on renaming the drives....doing that now
good info!
the first/second order can change for individual users, depending on what your OS detects first. Also these can be changed at any time, through the registry or through Disk Management. If for some reason you don't want to rename the drives as suggested above (and you should) you could alternatively just create a text document on the drive labelled as such.
Sorry for such a newbie question but I can't find an answer in any forums. I used to be able to get access to both my external and internal sd card when i plugged into my windows 7 laptop. it would show as a new device SPD something. When i clicked on that icon in windows explorer it would break out two different drives the External and Internal. After flashing starburst rom and plugging in the device, it just shows an (F) Drive which is my standard storage. My phone then asks me for USB mass storage permission and it goes into mass storage mode. Clicking on F will bring me to my external SD card but I can't figure out how to access data on the built in memory chip. Any help would be appreciated!
If you got to Settings>Applications>Development and check allow usb debugging it should detect both cards as removable drives that you can access.
